Freshman sire Shadyshark Hanover notched up his third induvial winner for the season when Hashtag proved too strong for his rivals in the Saddleworld Shepparton Pace on Thursday August 18.
Hashtag despite being out of the draw started favourite after his close up last start second to smart filly All Done Up at Bendigo earlier this month.
Trained by Lara Crossland the two-year-colt has always shown above average ability but bad barrier manners has cost him victory until the Shepparton win.
Out of a Badlands Hanover mare called Elvira Bromac,Hashtag looks to have more wins installed as he matures.
Shadyshark Hanover from just 34 live foals from his first crop 11 have raced with 3 winners.
Shadyshark Hanover is the fastest three-year-old son of Cam’s Card Shark 1:50 ($2.4million),
Shady Past, the dam of Shadyshark Hanover, has been one of the gems of the American stud book. She is the dam of seven individual winners, with seven in 1:55, two in 1:50 and five $100,000 earners including Sharky Osborne 1:49.8 ($867,681), a full brother to Shadyshark Hanover.
By No Nukes, Shady Past was out of the world champion racemare in Forbidden Past, one of the finest daughters of a champion sire and broodmare sire in Albatross.
